PARALOMIS JAMSTECI TAKEDA & HASHIMOTO, 1990

Type locality: North Pacific Ocean, Okinawa Trough, hydrothermal vents of the Minami-Ensei Knoll ; 28°23.4′N, 127°38.4′E; 710 m. GoogleMaps

Known range: Known only from the type locality (above).

Material: North Pacific Ocean, Okinawa Trough, Minami-Ensei Knoll, 28°23.4′N, 127°38.4′E; 710 m; Shinkai 2000 dive 428; 26 July 1989; NSMT-Cr 10172 [holotype female (ovigerous)], NSMT-Cr 10173 (paratype, 1 male), USNM and MNHN (2 ovigerous females) ( Takeda & Hashimoto, 1990; also see Hashimoto et al., 1990, 1995; Hashimoto, 1997, in Desbruyeres & Segonzac, 1997).

Remarks: Paralomis jamsteci was described as living among beds of mytilid mussels near vent openings ( Takeda & Hashimoto, 1990; Hashimoto et al., 1995). Hashimoto (1997, in Desbruyeres & Segonzac, 1997: 199) described the ecology of the species as ‘crawling around bacterial mats close to hydrothermal vents’ with vent temperatures reaching 269 °C. Hashimoto et al. (1995) also mentioned two other unidentified species of Paralomis living at the Minami-Ensei vent fields ( Hashimoto et al., 1995; Chevaldonné & Olu, 1996). To date the species is known only from that site and from the specimens noted above. See Chevaldonné & Olu (1996: 289) for reports of this species feeding on vesicomyid and mytilid bivalves.
